Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) in pregnancy, even when severe and without surgical options, can have favorable outcomes. Neonatal hypocalcemia was prevented with careful management, showing pHPT does not always harm the fetus.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Obstetrics
  • Neonatology

Background:

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) during pregnancy poses risks, often managed with parathyroidectomy due to parathyroid adenomas.
  • This case explores severe pHPT in pregnancy without a detectable adenoma, rendering surgery non-viable.

Observation:

  • A 29-year-old patient presented with severe pHPT at 11 weeks gestation.
  • Despite elevated calcium levels throughout pregnancy, a premature infant was delivered at 35 weeks.
  • The infant received supportive care including calcium, vitamin D3, and human milk to prevent hypocalcemia.

Findings:

  • The infant did not develop clinical signs of hypocalcemia.
  • The infant's parathyroid hormone levels normalized by 8 weeks of age.
  • The infant exhibited normal physical, cognitive, and motor development through early childhood.

Implications:

  • Severe pHPT in pregnancy without surgical intervention can be managed successfully.
  • This case highlights that fetal and neonatal morbidity/mortality are not inevitable outcomes of pregnancy with pHPT.
  • Non-surgical management strategies can lead to positive neonatal and long-term infant outcomes.
